As a multi-exemplar concept, social identity construction in a process compatible with social system in light of sociological, psychological and socio-psychological approach at macro-micro and integrative levels has been remained intact. 

To this end, its social system-based construction among youths was addressed with a sample of 445 probability stratified sampling selected students from Tehran University. Attending this field study, they attempted a researcher-made tablet-rendered valid and reliable questionnaire. Actually Validity of the instrument was measured both in terms of content and construct through expert judgment and factor analysis, respectively and its reliability was estimated through Cronbach alpha correlational analysis.

One sample parametric t-test-based analysis of the data supported the main hypothesis predicting direct effects of the functional deficiency of social system on lower extent of youths' social identity construction compared to social system (T=18/32).

Rather, the findings entailed an applied model for social identity construction along with suggesting field-supported measures.
